Here is a song about them from Angela Aki-
YouTube - Angela Aki - Sakura Iro
I love her music and a beautiful video!

Welcome! :D
Wow, you're right. It's absolutely beautiful O_O

It was quite creative idea to use falling sakura as an ambience enhancement. Her outfit was quite ordinary, but somehow, I credit her for not resorting to fancy, classical dresses. The sincerity and confidence of the song are, somewhat, more translucent that way, without having to palpably indicate it. I would pity the maid though, lol. Correct me if I'm wrong, but were the last words of her song "forever's"? And is her real name Angela? O.o *goes to download*

I'm happy you liked the video! I'm not sure of the translation, forgive me , but I am just learning Japanese, but her music for me transcends the language barrier. Her music touches my soul very deeply, American singers these days lack that soul. Angela is her first name, her mother is an Italian American , and her father is Japanese (they live in Japan).
I hope this helps

Ah, so she's a mixed? That certainly explains a whole bunch, thanks! ^_^ She looks kinda different from the usual singers I know, but a talented beauty nonetheless. :p You should start a thread in the music section about her, lol ^^

Thanks for posting all of this information, it's really helpfull.
Next week I'm visiting Japan and I'll be fortunate enough to experience the cherry blossoms first hand, I really can't wait!
I'll be sure to share my pictures with you guys.

Thanks! I first heard her music from Blood + I think season 3 end credits song," This Love"
YouTube - Angela Aki This love
, Final Fantasy XII Eng version
YouTube - Angela Aki - Kiss Me Good-Bye
Japanese version
YouTube - Angela Aki - Kiss Me Goodbye (Live)

After hearing her, I starting buying her CD's! I would love to tell her how much I love her music, but her Sony Music message board that she reads is in Japanese, so I can't leave her my thanks :confused:

Sorry for going off track, I;ve seen the cherry blossoms in Washington DC,
they are beautiful, but I'm sure do not compare with those in Japan!

I've always wanted to see one in person. They're so beatiful. I would love to plant one here but I don't think it would survie with the weather that we get in Chicago.
